See below: It depends on what is causing these lesions and it is difficult to answer without knowing the cause. It would be best to discuss with her treating physician.

See doc: Unfortunately, without more history and a physical exam, it's hard to tell what those lesions are. A pic sent over to us might help but doesn't guarantee any definite answer will be given.

Depends: If her complete bloom count and platelets are within normal at her age she probably just has thin fragile skin. When it is bumped it bleeds under the skin that makes it look red and will go away if you do nothing. It is harmless if this is what is happening . Your mom needs to know this from her doctor though.
